He is currently Assistant Professor in British Literature at the University of Paris-Sorbonne. He has published a number of articles on British Romanticism (Wordsworth, Coleridge, Hazlitt, De Quincey, William Gilbert), as well as on Jane Austen and Charles Dickens, and his book on Wordsworth\u2019s and Coleridge\u2019s nature poetry is forthcoming at Lyon\/Grenoble University Press. He is also a translator (Hazlitt, Melville, Sterne, William Temple, Dickens, Shaftesbury), and his new verse translation of Thomson\u2019s <em>Seasons<\/em> will shortly be issued by Classiques Garnier.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the topic of his paper, Laurent writes:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy paper revisits the longstanding topos of Coleridge\u2019s\u00a0 \u2018myriad-mindedness\u2019 by taking it, as it were, literally: by focusing on the spiritual myriads or multitudes that recur as a structural motif in his early poetry, notably in \u2018Religious Musings\u2019 and \u2018The Destiny of Nations,\u2019 which feature various crowds diversely made up of angels, medullary particles, and monads of the physical or moral world. I shall examine the existential, political, philosophical and poetical aspects of the young Coleridge\u2019s investment in multeity, before suggesting that some its implications may go some way towards explaining his later turn away from both pantheistic metaphysics and metaphysical poetry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The next meeting of the London-Paris Romanticism Seminar will be held on Friday 17 November 2017 in Room 349 (third floor), Senate House, University of London, starting at 5.30.
